Which is why i dont get it, the bloke is in the main hated and has been for years, he just doesnt see the opportunity in front of him at times , the top 6 have gone, forget that unless some ultra state buys us, but he could steady the ship with a quality striker, i for one think so far we have done reasonable BUSINESS so far but there you go sometimes its not enough.

Because he loves the club more than the manager

Anyone buying that club For nigh on £300m is gonna run it pretty much the same way as Ashley. That’s big big money for a club who’s ceiling is 7th.
Awab mans
That's not true at all. Develop the training facilities and the academy and with a long term strategy of gradual progression there absolutely no reason why us (or any other decent-sized club) can break through that ceiling.

Not now Sima, maybe the odd freaky season but never for us under Ashley its gone mental now and i doubt theres many out there to sustain a challenge.sustain is the key.
Yeah, the proviso is that new investors come in. We (amongst many others) know that Ashley isn't interested in a long-term plan, just stagnation that see us sit at the top table every year.
One of Benitez's main demands is to improve the training and academy facilities. It was mooted long before Benitez arrived but still hasn't happened.
Our players take ice baths in wheelie bins ffs

Not in a sustainable way imo. Leicester stole it away for a year and the big 6 doubled down with huge money and sewed it up for the foreseeable future. Southampton are the closest example for what you’re proposing and then one bad manager combined with one bad recruitment summer nearly saw them relegated.
Is it? 49.9% of Everton sold for £200m. G&S turned down a £650m offer from Redbull to buy West Ham.
With all due respect to those sides I'd argue our natural ceiling is way higher than both of them with the right plan in place.

He's running it as a business.
He's cleared most of the debt and the mess left by the Hall's and Shepherds and is only spending what is within their means.
He's also keeping the debt down as much as possible for when he eventually sells it, which he will.
Of course this doesn't go down too well at any football club especially one that see's itself as the biggest club in the world who think they should be signing players like Neymar etc.

Aye but he’s made that back with free advertising on the stadium.
The only way he sells us if either
a) He gets an absolutely ludicrous offer which he can't refuse
or
b) His retail investments start to go down the shitter massively forcing him with a requirement to get his hands on some quick money.
or death.
He's going nowhere as he's not interested in selling the club at market value. The commercial benefit is too great for him.
Yep.
Sell striker and midfielder based for £25-30m
Buy midfielder and striker from countries with partisan loyalty which will commercially benefit for £9.5m in total.
Profit.

Ok then you have a few strikers who can get between 6 and 10 already then. Whats the beef if the club cant afford a top one?
Amazing man isn't it!?
Why is this notion routinely suggested?
The big stadium advertising money comes from actually naming the stadium itself, and that is not possible it seems, if the past is a guide. The perimiter advertising at pitch side carries other than SD promotions. The Shirts are not SD.
He has Sports Direct slapped all over the place on the stadium, and while they may be a startlingly grotesque sight, they would not be making much money if it were another name.

Had a quick look on wikipedia for Muto. Somebody's been on and edited his apps and goals . Making him look ridiculously prolific.
In fact, he's managed about a goal in three, which isn't even that bad of a return. Unsure why they've done it.

Nufc had a £100m wage bill in their promotion year. Huddersfield had a £22m wage bill. Fans get obsessed with headline fees but the big cost is the wage bill.

Benitez has blown a fortune on players that he now can't shift because they're either poor, on huge wages or both.
They money the mags are generating are the players bought by previous managers Mbemba etc. Mitrovic was a McLaren signing I think, he'll be the one that gives Rafa more money to piss away on Spanish shite.
